A turf racecourse in Avondale, Auckland, with a racing history that goes back to 1889. The club's website says the venue was due to close permanently in late July 2026, so check before you go. The club also says racing there had been cut back to between four and eight meetings a season.
The track is a right-handed turf course of 1800 metres, which the club says suits racing in all conditions. Past winners of the Avondale Guineas and the Avondale Cup, a 2200-metre race, were among the country's best horses. The course is at 22 Elm Street, about 20 minutes from the Auckland CBD. Race-day parking and public access are from Elm Street, off Rosebank Road. It is an easy walk from Avondale station on the Western Line, and a main West Auckland bus route serves the area.
